I am quite willing to convert the instructions that are inside the apache
distribution zip files into a series of web pages and post them up into my
public_html directory on one of the apache servers. I already have a set of
easy to follow instrucitons for people who wish to mirror the apache.org
project up there. something like http://www.apache.org/~andrewk/docs/
http://www.apache.org/~andrewk/, check it out if you are an apache mirror
and give me your feedback so I can improve it and push for the existing
pages to be changed with these ones.
Regards
Andrew
